NCC is planning to commence construction of its new headquarters now that the detailed development plan has been accepted in a new judgement from the Land and Environment Court. The development plan is expected to gain legal force within three weeks. NCC’s new headquarters signal the start of the development of a new, sustainable and attractive city district in Solna.
The detailed development plan for NCC’s Startboxen property in Solna has been accepted in a new judgement from the Land and Environment Court. The likelihood of an appeal is deemed low and the plan is therefore expected to gain legal force within three weeks. The new plan grants expanded development rights for the NCC property that comprises a total of about 90,000 m², half of which is earmarked for offices and half for housing.
In connection with the detailed development plan gaining legal force, NCC and the Municipality of Solna will carry out land swaps to enable the development of a new densely populated urban city structure in Järva Krog. This will include three new neighborhoods featuring offices, restaurants, service and housing as well as the formation of new squares and a new street design.
Carola Lavén, Business Area Manager, NCC Property Development said: “We are very pleased with the judgement made by the Land and Environment Court and are really looking forward to the next stage in the development of Järva Krog, and to creating an attractive district in one of north Stockholm’s most accessible locations.”
NCC plans to start work on two office projects comprising some 32,000 m² of leasable space for offices, restaurant and service. NCC itself intends to lease one of the office buildings, with about 20,000 m² of leasable floor space, and to transfer its headquarters here. The total leasing rate for both office projects is currently about 60%.
